Pedagogy month continues with "On Pedagogy and Playing with Fire: How (and Why) to Eat a Candle in Class!" *may or may not include genuine candle eating

Hicks-Keeton: “I have taken a bite out of a burning candle twice in my life now. The most recent occasion was in front of my forty juniors and seniors in a course called “Jesus of Nazareth” at the University of Oklahoma. Their gasps, followed by confused laughter, revealed that the theatrics had worked: they were surprised that their professor lit a candle and then ate it.”

Sr. Miola: “Shoemaker’s prodigious command of ancient languages and his careful study of little-known texts and manuscripts over the course of nearly two decades make this volume a unique contribution to the debates over early Marian devotion and dogma.”
